Steve,
CellPrint is more likely than Print to do what you want:
data=
{{1.234,345.000006},{1.3,1.2}};
CellPrint[Cell[BoxData[GridBox[data, ColumnAlignments -> {Right},
GridFrame -> True,
ColumnLines -> True, ColumnsEqual -> True]], "Text"]]
You will find the options for GridBox in the help browser.
They can be applied interactively to a selected displayed grid using the
Option Inspector
